easyos.org/forum seems down at present, so reporting here ... 0.9.7 if you change the main desktops wallpaper, choice icons, remove the console and www containers, add some icons, remove others ... the changes don't always get preserved across reboots.

I think that may be due to how Puppy's implement jwm, rox pinboard backup's etc. and how in some cases pinboard changes can 'revert' apparently by itself.

Same MeLe minpc as Barry. Followed install instruction. Turn on with esc key engaged,opens boot options,choose UEFI OS option ,Save and Exit, goes to Easyos menu,select boot, looks for drive, shows "mmcblk0" continuous perhaps 20 times then "boot drive not found" "cant access tty job controll turnd off"
EASY working fine from thumb drive and I have tried all boot options in the boot order without success.
I am no expert but can follow instructions, any assistance would be appreciated.
Regards Dennis

Easy 0.9.7 installed via EasyDD onto USB stick.............................. (hey, I have to ask: did you know when one uses EasyDD from inside any running Easy OS version, that once you open EasyDD & choose the gz.file and pick the correct USB stick, and hit "Continue", that the EasyDD popup disappers with no dialog and/or install status box pops up, and you're left to wonder what is going on? g. No finish popup, no communication popup, nothing. Yet, EasyDD installs the .gz file IF you know enough to wait however long despite being in the dark what is going on. Perhaps a dialog box of what's going on and when EasyDD is finished would be nice )

I am going through the short-list, prior to releasing 0.9.8, including the above.

@belham2
I tested easydd in GUI mode, it puts up a window showing writing progress, right to completion.

I think that I read another post of yours, where you have removed rxvt/urxvt, replaced with roxterm?

There are many scripts that require xterm/rxvt/urxvt and will not work with others. In Easy, I have sakura, but still have to keep urxvt as sakura is not 100% commandline compatible -- the same goes for most other terminal emulators. That is why, just about all the distros keep xterm/rxvt/urxvt.

It seems, it is also why the final window is not appearing. easydd does a test for existence of rxvt or urxvt, will refuse to run if missing. If you have them as a symlink, to something else, easydd does run, but in your case, it seems, not properly.

In my test just now, got a rxvt terminal window, until the write completed, and then another window notifying that the write is complete._________________https://bkhome.org/news/

Ah hah, that makes 100% sense. I wasn't using rxvt or urxvt.

Thanks, Barry!

Over the years I have gotten a little exasperated with rxvt/urxvt because of (among a few things) I cannot highlight & copy and paste when using it. So I always used something like sakura, lxterminal and/or ROXterm. I'll remember from now on when using EasyDD to always do it through rxvt/urxvt.

I don't have any problem with copy and paste in rxvt/urxvt.

Drag the mouse pointer to highlight, then middle-click mouse button elsewhere to paste the highlighted text.

I am hoping to work through this and other "teething" problems, and 0.9.9 will have pretty much stabilized the underlying infrastructure. Then should be on the home-run to release 1.0 ...by Christmas?
Maybe sooner!_________________https://bkhome.org/news/
